Renzo Sandwich is a sandwich shop located in the heart of the Mile End, at the corner of Fairmount and Saint-Laurent. We serve hearty, gourmet sandwiches made with artisanal Italian ciabatta bread — from the Classic Sub to the Turkey Club, the Mortadella-Artichoke, the Renzo Chicken, the Corned Beef, the Cubano… and many other delicious creations.
Across numerous reviews, Renzo Sandwich is described as a standout Montreal spot for big, hearty subs made with fresh bread and generous fillings. Lovers of the place praise the bold flavors and solid balance in classics like the Philly cheesesteak, mortadella artichoke, roast beef Italian, cubano, the Renzo chicken, and the turkey club, though some sandwiches vary in quality and notes about too much sauce or underseasoned meat appear. The bread is repeatedly highlighted as crusty and soft, a big factor in the overall positive impression, and portions are noted as substantial, sometimes massive. The vibe is warm and retro, and service is often fast and friendly, with takeout a strong option for busy days, though peak times can mean waits or crowded seating. Value is seen as fair to high given portion size and ingredients, with many calling it the best sandwich spot in Montreal, while a few feel certain items miss the mark and the atmosphere cannot fully compensate. Desserts such as tiramisu and key lime pie receive praise and add to the overall experience. Taken together, the reviews present Renzo as a must-try destination that excites aficionados, while acknowledging occasional inconsistency and practical downsides like seating limits and service during rushes.
I had the corned beef sandwich & tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, both absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was nice with the workers & the design was beautiful

Sandwicherie de quartier avec des ingrédients de qualité' évidemment que c'est mieux que les grosses chaînes. J'ai surtout aimé le pain qui est croustillant & moelleux en même temps. J'y retournerai pour essayer d'autres sandwiches.
Super bon sandwich, seulement avec un enfant, aucun sandwich « version enfant »
Si on veut quelque chose plus pour enfant, il faut tout de même payer le plein prix du sandwich. Le pain était aussi difficile a croquer pour un enfant de 4-5 ans.
Je recommande l'endroit pareil beau menu, bons sandwiches.
Excellent service, délicieux sandwichs, nous avons bien aimé le classique Philly cheasesteak, mais gros coup de coeur pour le mortadelle & artichaut :-)
Le sandwich était délicieux (nous en avons testé 2), j'en ai rapporté la moitié, la portion est immense! Une petite Renzo en breuvage, légère, très bonne. Le service parfait & efficace, c'était full & on a été servi en quelques minutes. La déco est top ! La vente de certains produits fins, c'est génial. J'adore ! Notre nouveau resto sandwich pref !
Cool concept rétro! J'ai adorée l'intérieur du resto
Plusieurs choix de sandwich, difficile de choisir !
J'ai optée pour le corned beef aux cornichons MIAM! J'ai également testée le latte au sirop romarin & sirop d'érable & j'ai vraiment été agréablement surprise !
Bon service & délicieux repas !
Belle découverte 😇

J'ai pris le sub classique & laissez moi vous raconter mon expérience. Le sub classique n'a rien d'un sandwich classique. C'est une explosion de saveurs en bouche, c'est une expérience pour les papilles gustatives. En tant que fan de sandwich, je dois dire que je suis plus que satisfait du sub classique. Ma copine a pris le Corned beef, encore une fois, c'est réussi comme sandwich, fine cuisine & fin service sur place.
For a $18 sandwich, I really expected more than just lettuce for vegetables, especially when it takes up over 60% of the filling. The beef was underseasoned & crumbly as well. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because I understand how difficult the current business environment is, but cutting food quality shouldn't be the solution.
Par contre, deux éléments à améliorer :
1) diminuer la luminosité dans le restaurant. C'est trop éclairé & on se croirait dans un mcdo. Baissez un peu ça pour faire un belle ambiance chill le soir, style kawa café.
2) passer la mop plus souvent : l'eau de la neige des bottes des clients s'accumule au sur le sol, laissant une flaque d'eau brune. Peu agréable à regarder quand on mange.
Great selection of sandwiches that are jam-packed with ingredients, making them totally worth the price. We had the Chicken Renzo & the Vegetarian Sub: both delicious. The restaurant has a charming vintage aesthetic. Counter service only.
This place kind of reminded me of BOSSA in Verdun. Different vibe & sandwich options though. I ordered the Turkey Club & it was gooooood. The sandwich was hefty, filled with delicious fresh ingredients. & the bread was really nice too! Crunchy crust with a nice soft body. As Arnie said,'I'll be back!'
On the plus side, they have at least two vegetarian options. However, be ready to like olives if you take the végé sub! It's so powerfu l that in a sandwich with at least ten other ingredients, it's impossible to pick any other. & if you get a lucky bite, it's honestly pretty tasteless, which is surprising with those peppers & onions.
On the plus side, service is nice & quick & the ingredients seemed all quite fresh. But if you don't eat meat there are better Italian options in the city for cheaper.

Très bon. Beaucoup de stock dans le sandwich. Le personnel est très sympathique. Gâteau key lime pie est délicieux. Pas beaucoup de siège sur place par contre.
Absolutely stellar mortadella & artichoke sandwich. The colour scheme & decor feels straight from the 1970s. A great spot, & people know it! Be prepared for a wait.
